I would love to see the “lost” footage mentioned in this article. Would make a great expanded mini series for some streamer. I know after this flopped that a four hour version ended up in syndicated TV, but this article mentions there’s like seven hours of cut scenes!

    Aw. This is the “Dune” I liked. The new one wasn’t nearly cheesey enough and filled with whisper talking and took forever to get anywhere.

      I think they were trying to go the Bladerunner route with this reboot. Y’know, feast for the eyes as well.

          No, no, not saying it wasn’t. I’m just saying they leaned on what they did with Bladerunner 2049. Not that it’s a bad thing because I personally enjoy the new movies.

          I did grow up with memories of the Lynch films though and every time I saw Kyle MacLachlan in anything it immediately would remind me of Dune. I only learned Alicia Witt was in it a couple of years ago which kind of blew my mind.
